The Spoiled Girl - Chapter 1522 Dislike

Emily glared at him shyly. “You always take advantage of me.” She withdrew her hand and ignored him.

Jacob smiled. “It’s natural for me to take advantage of my wife.”

“You are so glib.” After taking a look at the soup, Emily took a small spoon, scooped a little of the soup, and tasted it. She felt that it was a little light, so she reached out for the salt while answering Jacob’s question. “I finished my work ahead of time, so I came home early. Well, aren’t you home early too?”

It was only noon, and Jacob was already in their kitchen.

“That only means we think alike, don’t you think?” Jacob pointed at the necklace around his neck, the one designed by Emily.

At the sight of that, Emily smiled.

Seeing that Emily had returned to being energetic and happy like before, Jacob felt very contented. He reached out to touch her face and said, “Now you can get some good rest.”

Before the new product launch took place, Emily had stayed up late to work every day. Jacob had watched her grow weak and her skin turn sallow. He had felt sorry for her. But since he had known that she was doing something that meant a lot to her, he had had no choice but to support her all the way.

“Okay.” Emily put her hand on Jacob’s and nodded.

While the two were busy enjoying each other’s company, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Emily and Jacob looked at each other. Then, Jacob went to open the door.

“Hello?” a voice called from outside the door. It was Rita, who had been smiling brightly until Jacob opened the door. She froze for a moment. “Jacob…” She had thought that Emily would be the one to answer the door.

Jacob smiled and nodded politely to her. Then, he stepped aside and let her in.

“Thank you, Jacob.” Rita thanked Jacob with a stiff expression, walked into the house, and took off her shoes.

Jacob closed the door behind them.

“Is that Rita?” Emily was busy in the kitchen. After the soup was ready, she turned the gas off. Hearing Rita’s voice, she walked out of the kitc

sappointed that their godmother was taking their mother away.

“Well…” Rita felt a little embarrassed.

After changing her shoes, Emily patted Rita on the shoulder and comforted her. “Ignore them. Just bring them the gifts you promised, and they will like you again.”

“Okay.” Rita felt relieved.

To celebrate Emily’s successful new product launch, Rita took her shopping at the mall. As Emily’s best friend, she paid for everything that Emily got as reward for her recent success.

Emily accepted the reward without hesitation.

Soon, after hopping from one store to another, Rita’s and Emily’s hands were full of different shopping bags. However, Rita was not yet satisfied. She still wanted to buy more things.

“Rita.” Emily was tired. She caught up with the excited Rita, who was walking fast and did not seem to be tired at all. “We’ve bought enough. Let’s go home,” Emily said. She really could not walk anymore. She would rather lie prone on a desk or draw than go shopping some more. She felt so much pain in her feet.

“How can those be enough? We still have a lot of things to buy.” Rita looked at the bags in their hands and seemed to be indicating that they were far from enough.

“What?” Emily looked at Rita in horror. “What else do you want to buy?” They had already bought clothes, shoes, bags, cosmetics, and every little thing women deemed essential.
